Preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation is a two-year process involving regular monthly meetings, faith sharing, retreats, and service projects. We focus on preparing spiritually to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit and becoming active members of the faith community.

Teams of volunteers assist couples contemplating marriage to reflect on their commitment to marriage as taught by the church, and to provide guidance in preparing for their new vocation. The one-day program is held yearly helping couples to prepare for the sacrament of marriage. The Pre-Cana team seeks married couples to be part of this ministry.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process through which adults are fully initiated into the Catholic faith community. During classes, participants study and discuss scripture and Church teaching, as well as share their faith journey. The RCIA Team provides education, hospitality, support, and facilitation at gatherings. We invite any adult who has never been baptized or those baptized in another faith and now wish to become Catholic. We also welcome any adult who has been baptized Catholic but never received the sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation. Meetings are held Tuesday evenings from 7:00pm - 8:30 pm, September through Easter.

Catechists prepare our children to receive the sacraments and impart God's love by their faith commitment,enthusiasm and knowledge. Our parish supplies training, curriculum, and an abudance of training resources. Fall classes are held on Tuesdays and Sundays.
